Yes and no... the details are a little different, because we're using subshells and not sourcing scripts directly in the current process (cleanup is easier that way -- you just `exit`). But in effect, yeah, this is minor window dressing around executing an initializing shell script in a sandbox. I find the interface and the doc surfacing useful.

In the nearterm I'm going to be working on supporting imports -- i.e., you `git clone` down a project that has a deskfile at its root, then you're able to import it (maybe as a fancy symlink) into your own deskfiles. That'd give you immediate, programmtic context for working on the project.
